WARPING-MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 317,472, dated May 5, 1885.

Application led January 29, 1884.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, J oHN RYLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Paterson, Passaic countyState of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Warping-Machines, of which the following is a speciiication, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof.

The invention consists of the devices and combination of devices illustrated in the drawin gs,which will be hereinafter fully explained.

Figure l ofthe drawings is a side elevation of a machine embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof. Fig. 3 is a front view of some of the parts shown in Fig. l. Fig. 4 is also afront view of some of the parts shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 5 shows the front of the Inachine in elevation. Fig. 6 shows a part of the driving mechanism in elevation. Fig. 7 is a plan of measuring mechanism. Fig. S is a part plan of traverse mechanism; and Fig. 9 is an enlarged view of some of the parts shown in Figs. l and 5.

A represents a power warpingmachine having a frame, A', on and to which frame are arranged and secured various devices and driving mechanism, as follows: Suitably 1ocated on the upper part of the machine and secured to the frame A' there is a stud, b2, on which stud there are journaled pulleys b, one of which-the outer one--is loose, and the inner one-the main driving-pulley-is provided with a sleeve which carries a pinion, c, that meshes with a gear-wheel, c'. This wheel is arranged on and secured to one end of a shaft, c2. This shaft is journaled in bearings in the frame A', and has at its other end a worm, c4, fast on said shaft, which meshes with a worm-wheel, f', fast on a transverse shaft,

4o f, which is journaled in bracket-beariu gs g g,

secured to the frame A'.

More centrally located on-and secured to the shaft f there is a cam, f 2, which cam engages with a roller, f3. Said roller is journaled on a stud that is suitably secured to a lever, f4, which lever is pivoted at its lower end to a bracket ou a pivot, f5 the lever f 4 connects by a link, h, to a lever, h'. Said lever is suitably arranged in a bracket that is suitably secured to a transverse bar, d, which bar is horizontally arranged in brackets d' d?, that are secured to the frame A'.

(No model.)

The bracket d4 is provided with glass guides d3. The cord h2, provided with a weight, h5, passes over a grooved pulley, h, and is secured to the lever h'. The pulley h4 is jourualed in a depending arm that is secured to the top or table a.

On laterally-projecting arms ku, secured to the frame of the machine, there are journaled in bracket E, secured to said projecting arms k1', rollers 7c' k2, and in the arms ku a measuring-wheel, k, having a shaft, k1, on which shaft there is arranged and secured a worm, k3, that meshes with a gear wheel, 7c, having a pinion, h5, that `meshes with a gearwheel, k6, which wheel is provided with a stud, kg, that engages with a hammer, 7c". This hammer is secured to the frame A', and is so arranged as to strike the gong lo". The wheel 7a4 and its pinion h5 are arranged on a stud, k12, and the wheel k6 and gong It are arranged and journaled on a stud, 7c, as shown in Fig. 9. Suitably secured to the frame A are arms l2 Z3, in which arms is journaled a horizontal spindle, Z7, provided with a bobbin, l, gearwheel l5, and screw l', as shown in Fig. 6.

lLocated at some distance from the machine proper there is a movable frame, B, having arranged and secured thereon a reed, u', an'd glass rod n3. Said rodis arranged in brackets a secured to tlap n4. The frame is provided with a flap, a4. VSaid iiap is provided with hinges a5. The frame B is supported on standards i" r2, Fig. 4. More remote from the machine A' there is arranged a creel-frame, p, which frame is supported by standards s, and is provided with a reed, a, having den ts r and pins p2, and supply-spoolsp', as shown in Figs. l, 2, and 3. The machine is provided with the ordinary belt-guide b'.

The operation of the machine is as follows: Motion is given to the pulleys b by the ordinary means employed therefor, which motion, by means of pinion c and gear-wheel c', ro tates the shaft c2, and by means of gear-wheels Z5 Z5, worm Z4, and worm-wheel f', rotates the spindle F, its bobbin Z, and shaft j", which shaft in turn, by means of cam fz and roller f3, reciprocates the lever f4. This lever, by means of link h, cord h2, pulley h4, and weight h5, imparts a reciprocating motion to the lever h. pivoted to the frame at h3, which lever, in its connection with traverse-bar d, gives a hori- IOO zontal reciprocating motion to said bar. The parts mentioned having been putin motion in the manner stated, the several strands are taken from the spools p upward through the reed n and between the dents r', and through the reed a forward to and through the reed n2, which last-mentioned reed is arranged as illustrated in the drawings. After the strands D have been taken' through the reeds n n n2 in the usual and well-known way, the warp end is passed over the top of the roller 702, down under and around the wheel 70, upward and over the roller 70', forward to the bobbin l and between the guides d3, and is secured to the bobbin lin the usual way. The bobbin I, which is secured to the spindle l7 by means of screw c', being in rotation, draws the strands D which compose the warp from the spools p through the reeds over rollers and measuring-wheel in the manner stated, and the warp thus formed and drawn by the bobbiu Z is laid. evenly on and distributed over the same by the bar d, which bar is reciprocated by the traverse mechanism. The measuring-wheel 70, having been put in rotation by the draft on the warp-strands D, caused by the rotation of the bobbin l by means of the worm 703, rotates the worm-wheel 704, the pinion 705 rotates the wheel 706, which by means of stud 709 actuates the hammer 70.8. Said hammer in its action strikes the gong 707, and thus indicates the number of yards measured and wound on the bobbin 7, by which means the warps are and can be made of even length, as follows: The wheel 70 having a measuring capacity of one yard ateach revolution of the same, and the wheel 706 having been arranged by intermediates l04 705 to have one revolution to every sixty revolutions of the wheel 70, it then follows that every action of the hammer 708 on the gong 707 will indicate sixty yards measured by the wheel 70 and laid on the bobbin l, and if the length of the warp is fixed at one hundred and eighty yards the wheel 70 would make as many revolutions, and the wheel 70G would have made but three revolutions, and would have so indicated by its action on the gong 707 by means of the stud 709 and hammer 708.

It will be understood that by changing the intermediates a greater or less number of yards may be indicated at every revolution of the wheel 706. The tension on the warpstrands D is regulated as follows: The reed n being more elevated than the reed n2, as illustrated :in` Fig. l, causes the tension or strain on the strands D to be increased as the frame B isrmoved nearer to the reed a2, and, vice versa, when the frame B is placed nearer to the reed a, the tension or strain on the strands D is made less.

When it is desired to remove the tension and slaelien the warp-strands, the hinged flap n4, that carries the rod n3, may be let down, which action will allow the warpstrands to fall and thus remove all strain from the same.

Having described my improved warpingmachine and its operations, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Paten t l. The frame B, having a vertically-movable ap and a bar Vattached thereto, over which the warp-threads pass, in combina-tion with the devices for supplying and winding the yarn, substantially as set forth.

2. The hinged flap n, in combination with a frame to which is attached a glassbar attached to said flap, over which the warpthreads pass, and the devices for supplying and winding the yarn, substantially as set forth.

3. rlhe hinged flap n4, carrying the glass rod n3, in combination with the frame B, to which it is attached, and the yarn-supplying and yarn-winding devices, substantially as set forth.
